As a gay kid, I had teachers who spoke of their heterosexual lifestyles (marriage, kids, etc) and who taught us books about straight people falling in love. And, yet, despite all that indoctrination, I stayed gay! So, your straight kids will be just fine learning that LGBT people, you know, exist.

I dunno which industry he’s talking about but it applies to Higher Education.
The scale of redundancy plans & hiring freezes is clearly creating situations in which those who remain are at higher risk of burnout.
It’s a serious health & safety issue That most employers are not taking seriously

Burnout is genuinely life-destroying and I really can't say, on this website, what I think should happen to managers who not only let it happen to one individual worker but who systemically make it happen on large groups of workers.

Academics - we should be very worried about and acting to avoid this language becoming adopted by funders, universities, our institutions.
The ferocity with which the vile phrase “a biological male who identifies as a woman” is being embedded across multiple media in Britain is horrifying. It shows how quickly support for eliminationist attacks against trans and gender diverse people is being solidified

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.
He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.
The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.
